Checking the Print Head Nozzles
If you find that your printouts and copies are unexpectedly faint
or that there are gaps (missing dots) in the printed image, you
may be able to identify the problem by checking the print head
nozzles.
You can check the print head nozzles from your computer or from
the control panel. To check from your computer, use the Nozzle
Check utility in the printer software window. Both methods are
described below.

Do not start the Nozzle Check utility while printing is in progress.
